or e-mail at yeow.aaron@epa.gov. 

General information concerning the EPA 

Science Advisory Board can be found 

on the EPA Web site at http:// 

www.epa.gov/sab. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The SAB 

was established pursuant to the 

Environmental Research, Development, 

and Demonstration Authorization Act 

(ERDAA), codified at 42 U.S.C. 4365, to 

provide independent scientific and 

technical advice to the Administrator on 

the technical basis for Agency positions 

and regulations. The SAB is a Federal 

Advisory Committee chartered under 

the Federal Advisory Committee Act 

(FACA), 5 U.S.C., App. 2. Pursuant to 

FACA and EPA policy, notice is hereby 

given that the SAB will hold a public 

teleconference to conduct a quality 

review of a draft report entitled ‘‘SAB 

Review of EPA’s Approach for 

Developing Lead Dust Hazard Standards 

for Residences (November 2010 Draft) 

and Approach for Developing Lead Dust 

Hazard Standards for Public and 

Commercial Buildings (November 2010 

Draft).’’ The SAB will comply with the 

provisions of FACA and all appropriate 

SAB Staff Office procedural policies. 

Background: The SAB was asked to 

review and provide advice to EPA on 

EPA’s ‘‘Approach for Developing Lead 

Dust Hazard Standards for Residences 

(November 2010 Draft)’’ and ‘‘Approach 

for Developing Lead Dust Hazard 

Standards for Public and Commercial 

Buildings (November 2010 Draft)’’, 

which describe the approaches that EPA 

will use to support possible revision of 

existing residential lead-based paint 

dust hazard standards and the 

development of lead-based paint dust 

hazard standards for public and 

commercial buildings. To conduct this 

review, the SAB Staff Office requested 

public nominations of experts (75 FR 

6030–6031) and formed the ad hoc SAB 

Lead Review Panel. The Panel held a 

public meeting on July 6–7, 2010 (75 FR 

31433–31434) to provide early 

consultative advice to EPA. The Panel 

held a public meeting on December 6– 

7, 2010 (75 FR 69069) and a follow-up 

public teleconference on February 22, 

2011 (76 FR 4660–4661) to peer review 

EPA’s draft document. The SAB will 

conduct a quality review of the Panel’s 

draft report, ‘‘SAB Review of EPA’s 

Approach for Developing Lead Dust 

Hazard Standards for Residences 

(November 2010 Draft) and Approach 

for Developing Lead Dust Hazard 

Standards for Public and Commercial 

Buildings (November 2010 Draft).’’ 

Background information about this SAB 

advisory activity can be found on the 

SAB Web site at http://yosemite.epa

Hazard%20Standards?OpenDocument. 

Availability of Meeting Materials: The 

agenda and other materials in support of 

the teleconference will be placed on the 

SAB Web site at http://www.epa.gov/sab 

in advance of the teleconference. 

Procedures for Providing Public Input: 

Public comment for consideration by 

EPA’s Federal advisory committees and 

panels has a different purpose from 

public comment provided to EPA 

program offices. Therefore, the process 

for submitting comments to a Federal 

advisory committee is different from the 

process used to submit comments to an 

EPA program office. 

Federal advisory committees and 

panels, including scientific advisory 

committees, provide independent 

advice to EPA. Members of the public 

can submit comments for a Federal 

advisory committee to consider as it 

develops advice for EPA. Input from the 

public to the SAB will have the most 

impact if it provides specific scientific 

or technical information or analysis for 

SAB panels to consider or if it relates to 

the clarity or accuracy of the technical 

information. Members of the public 

wishing to provide comment should 

contact the Designated Federal Officer 

directly. Oral Statements: In general, 

individuals or groups requesting an oral 

presentation at a teleconference will be 

limited to three minutes. Interested 

parties should contact Mr. Aaron Yeow, 

DFO, in writing (preferably via e-mail) 

at the contact information noted above 

by May 11, 2011 to be placed on the list 

of public speakers for the 

teleconference. Written Statements: 

Written statements should be supplied 

to the DFO via e-mail at the contact 

information noted above by May 11, 

2011 for the teleconference so that the 

information may be made available to 

the Panel members for their 

consideration. Written statements 

should be supplied in one of the 

following electronic formats: Adobe 

Acrobat PDF, MS Word, MS 

PowerPoint, or Rich Text files in IBM– 

PC/Windows 98/2000/XP format. It is 

the SAB Staff Office general policy to 

post written comments on the Web page 

for the advisory meeting or 

teleconference. Submitters are requested 

to provide an unsigned version of each 

document because the SAB Staff Office 

does not publish documents with 

signatures on its Web sites. Members of 

the public should be aware that their 

personal contact information, if 

included in any written comments, may 

be posted to the SAB Web site. 

Copyrighted material will not be posted 

without explicit permission of the 

copyright holder. 

Accessibility: For information on 

access or services for individuals with 

disabilities, please contact Mr. Aaron 

Yeow at (202) 564–2050 or 

yeow.aaron@epa.gov. To request 

accommodation of a disability, please 

contact Mr. Yeow preferably at least ten 

days prior to the teleconference to give 

EPA as much time as possible to process 

your request. 

Dated: April 13, 2011.

Office.
